Population balance modeling has received an unprecedented amount of attention during
the past few years from both academic and industrial quarters because of its applicability to …

Population balance models have been used in chemical engineering since the 1960s and
have evolved to become the most important tools for design and control of particulate …

A new framework for the discretization of continuous population balance equations (PBEs) is
presented in this work. It proposes that the discrete equations for aggregation or breakage …

Engineers encounter particles in a variety of systems. The particles are either naturally
present or engineered into these systems. In either case these particles often significantly …

This work is concerned with the modeling and simulation of population balance equations
(PBEs) for combined particulate processes. In this study a PBE with simultaneous …

A discrete framework is introduced for simulating the particulate physical systems governed
by population balance equations (PBE) with particle splitting (breakage) and aggregation …

Although use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for simulating precipitation (and
particulate systems in general) is becoming a standard approach, a number of issues still …

Population balance models are tools for the study of dispersed systems, such as granular
materials, polymers, colloids and aerosols. They are applied with increasing frequency …

Collocation and Galerkin finite element algorithms are developed to solve the steady state
population balance equation. Unlike previously proposed schemes, the algorithms are …

Discretized population balances of aggregating systems are known to consistently over-
predict number densities for the largest particles. This over-prediction has been attributed …
